Trump Administration Will Let States Require People To Work For Medicaid

One critical issue that will affect the fallout from the Medicaid work requirements is the makeup of the Medicaid program itself, the critics say.

This is turning out to be the most conservative administration since Ronald Reagan.

Administrator Verma also announced that CMS has updated Medicaid.gov to give states a clearer indication of how their reform strategies under section 1115 should align with a core objective of the Medicaid program: serving the health and wellness needs of the nation's vulnerable and low-income individuals and families. Kentucky's request could be approved as soon as this week, according to MSN. "We see people moving off of Medicaid as a good outcome", she said.

On Thursday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, issued new guidelines for states that want some adults to work in exchange for the health insurance coverage. Medicaid is pretty different from even other government health care programs; its beneficiaries are the poorest people in America, kids, and people with disabilities-a coalition of Americans who often have the most hard health care needs in the country compared with the employer-sponsored private health market.

The document suggests children and people struggling with opioid addiction should be excluded from new work requirements.

But most health policy experts, including a few noted conservatives, have regarded the government insurance enabling millions of people to afford medical care as a right that should not hinge on individuals' compliance with other rules.

Up to 100 refugees feared drowned off Libyan coastWomen and 17 children were among those rescued, said Kacem, who added that bad weather had hampered the operation. Italy, their main point of entry, is providing naval support to the Libyan coastguard to stem the flow of people.

Such regulations are already in place for most recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps. "Each state is different", the letter says, and such activities "include, but are not limited to, community service, caregiving, education, job training, and substance use disorder treatment".

Solomon, the advocate for low-income people, said the federal government's waiver authority doesn't provide carte blanche to ignore the basic purposes of the program, and promoting work has not been on that list up to now.

Lead author Renuka Tipirneni, M.D., M.Sc., a U-M assistant professor of internal medicine, is available to discuss the results and how they might inform the national and state-level discussion about requirements such as those laid out by CMS. That could mean counting time spent in drug treatment as a form of "community engagement".

"This is about helping people rise out of poverty", Verma said Thursday in a conference call with reporters.

The report also states that people with a full-time job are less likely to suffer from depression. For low-wage workers, such as waitresses with fluctuating wages, "it boggles my mind", Stewart said.

Many recipients already have jobs that don't provide health insurance and people are not legally required to hold a job to be on Medicaid. She was an architect of Kentucky's waiver application once a Democratic governor who had eagerly embraced the ACA was succeeded by Matt Bevin, a Republican who campaigned on a pledge to reverse the program expansion there. In the end, that state included in its Medicaid expansion only an encouragement of voluntary efforts by beneficiaries to train for work or find jobs. States will be required to offer reasonable modifications to individuals with disabilities, and will be required to exempt individuals determined to be medically frail or who have an acute condition that a medical professional has determined will prevent them from complying with the requirements.
